Hi dubplate, I am an Australian transferee working here in Singapore, and I maintain Australian super. There is no scheme similar to super offered in Singapore unless you are a Permanent Resident or Citizen when you are co-opted into the State pension plan known as CPF (Central Provident Fund).

Anyone know which government agency is responsible for inspection & issue of parking fines? There is a construction site 'round the corner where the trucks and management cars always park & obstruct the footpath. There is no sidewalk on the other side, forcing us to walk on the road during peak hour...

Have you tried blending it yourself? The reason home-made tomato juice usually tasted like crap is because the seeds are quite bitter, and most people simply blend whole tomato. (Tomatoes plural?) An inexpensive moulinex (its a french cooking instrument, not the 'brand') with various sized screens w...

I'm struggling to find a basic gym in the central area. These California/Finance First chains are ludicrously expensive and I don't fancy paying $130 a month when I wont use 80% of the facilities. No spin classes, No Kickboxercise, No yoga. In fact no communal sweat-shop of any kind! No swimming poo...

Second, I'd expect at least a 20 percent decline when the new model comes out.

Don't forget your passport (or employment pass). You cannot buy a prepaid sim in Singapore without it.

The only people that get good bargains at the PC show are the first 30 in line out of 3000 looking to get super cheap deals. The PC show is just a disaster. You can hardly move, the promoters with microphones are way too loud, idiot parents take up the isle with prams and there are so many kiasu MF'...

Is it just my imagination, or lately has there been an increasing number of people whose first post is an advertisment?

So frustrating!!!

Hi Rob, For context I am 25 moved here from Australia 8 months ago. Defacto with the missus who came with. Are you glad you moved there? Absolutely. Haven't had a single regret. Do you think you will stay there permanently, or at some point you will have had enough and move back home? Hard to say. I...
